Hash, I think we really really have to extend the coverage of afrigadget.com.

Here’s why. :-)

Compared to the previous three weeks, it didn’t rain today and so we went for a mushroom foray in the nearby woods. I had never done this before – despite of living here in this remote, upcountry village since 5 years – and was fortunate enough to be guided by an experienced person who told [...]

Oh, one more thing: I just opened the brand-new 2007 edition of IKEA’s catalog for the German market (nice, really nice this time) and stumbled across an irritating statement by the designer of a new carpet called “ANDREA”:
